All of that said, I'm posting here today because I wanted to invite the folks here to participate in the creation of a new community resource: an encyclopedia by, for, and about Otherkin.
I know there have been other wikis in the community, but I think this one is a bit different. For one, it uses the familiar MediaWiki software just like Wikipedia. For another, it's focusing on being an encyclopedia rather than a manual or a FAQ. It's also only able to be edited by registered users, with a strong focus on keeping trolls out so that the information in it accurately represents the experiences of real otherkin. Finally, there is a strong emphasis on citing one's sources and remaining objective in the journalistic sense, which will hopefully keep the encyclopedia as accurate and free of bias as we can make it.
